Rowan Ranger Data Center

planned

The Temple City Council approved the annexation and rezoning of over 185 acres in east Temple for the Rowan Ranger project, marking the third data center for Rowan Digital Infrastructure in the area. The project involves a minimum investment of $2.1 billion, is expected to generate at least $8.4 million in property taxes during a 50% abatement period, and create 120 jobs. The facility uses a closed-loop water system to minimize waste, requiring an initial 2.5 million gallons of city water to flush the system, with a glycol-water mixture trucked in from outside Temple for internal cooling to avoid local drainage.
